Still in our prayers

Here is another gruesome article about what or military sees daily. The war on terrorists wages on in the worn torn countries across the globe. Our men and women face the daily battles that most of us can't even comprehend.

I was driving back from branson yesterday and passed a church outside of Springfield. On the sign it said "Pray for our troops". That made me stop and think (and pray) about how often we don't think of them. They are fighting for our freedom while we are enjoying it. How can we become complacent over that freedom and the terror that is going on world wide.

After Sept. 11, I think the devastion here on our soil made a lot of people realize what does occur around the world. But as the years go by, the threat is still there but because we are not visually linked to bombings, gunfire, and the horrific crimes we have lost sight of the value that we take for granted.

I just wanted to say thank you to all of the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every day without question so that we do not have as much of a risk of loosing ou freedom. We may complain about this or that but overall, we probably should not complain at all.
